You guys, I had high hopes for the Globes. I always do. Tables full of celebrities, alcohol flowing, schmoozing during commercial breaks, drunken speeches, the joining of television and cinema; how could it be anything other than awesome? And I’m happy to tell you — it delivered. Did the show keep me entertained for the […]

Drum roll, please. (Actually a Bandola strum fanfare would be more appropriate. And yes, I did just google “popular musical instruments of Venezuela” and spend a few minutes reading about the various guitars that make the beautiful sound that I now have in my head. I have a feeling I’m going to be spending a […]

When we last left our fair bachelorette, she was in a fetal position on the end of a pier in Antigua, crying her eyelashes off over the abrupt departure of Brooks, her one true love. I’ll be honest, the Things and I have spent far too many minutes the past week pondering what […]

You guys, I’m gonna be honest. I’ve been looking forward to this week’s The Bachelorette for like three weeks…ever since ABC duped me into thinking Des was going to get her heart broken next week….and then next week. I’ve been going crazy with heartbreak anticipation. In a happy turn of events, our best college friends […]

It’s hometown date night, you guys, and that usually means one thing. A whole lotta crazy.Let’s skip the wordsy intro and get right to it. *Recapper’s note – The recap will, once again, be primarily in note form. Once again, because this is pretty much exactly how I wrote it all down when I […]

I’m somewhat ashamed to say that I’d been waiting for this week’s episode with about as much anticipation as white-trash America is waiting for the Scratch-n-Sniff season premiere of Honey Boo-Boo. Yeah, sadly I ain’t kidding. This was in last week’s issue of People. I’d make a joke here […]

Buenos Días, my Bachelorette fans! Are you ready to travel to Spain with Des and the boys? I’m spending the week at my happy place and was out enjoying sunset on the lake until waaay after this episode started (thank goodness for DVR at the lake), but managed to drag myself away […]

I have to admit, you guys, after wasting devoting well over four hours last week to Bachelorette watching + recap writing, I wasn’t sure I was in it for the long haul. Plus, since my faithful Bachelor watching partner and snarky sidekick of 11 years (what up, Husband) got fed up of me pausing the […]

“Picture the best dream you’ve ever had, times it by 10 and then live in it.” ~Des, our fair heroine (who obviously missed the word “multiply” on her third grade vocab test) introducing us to her upcoming season. Standing on top of a mountain above the clouds! Walking on a tropical beach! Riding out […]
